Big Cake Little Cakes : 6" layer cake on a 14" board... I usually make this with 10-12 cupcakes so the middle cake is surrounded... but the customer didn't need that much cake! It was only to serve 6 but they desperately wanted this set up as you can still carry out the cupcakes singing "Happy Birthday" at the top of your voice!
Read more...Fabulous cookie cutters found in Hobbycraft... only £5 for 3 cutters!! My little boy LOVED these and had one as an after nursery treat each day until they were gone!
I coloured the cookie dough with a little Grape Violet to make them a cool purple biscuit!!
Painted with metallic dusts mixed with clear alcohol... very shimmery!
Paula & John talked about their wedding invitations when we met for the consultation... we thought it would be lovely to introduce the heart blossom tree from the invitations to the top cake then continue the them for the cupcakes.
Flavours Dark Chocolate Mud top cake, Madagascan Vanilla, Limoncello & Spicy Carrot cupcakes.
Beautiful setting at Park Barn, Holt... a great venue where all the guests could stay for the weekend.
If I really think about it, I think I might just have enjoyed making these more than cupcakes (shock horror)... so much fun, loved painting them... didn't feel at all like work! Only 14 of them were for an order but I did get a little carried away, hehehe x
Read more...These were supposed to be fairies but I realised after the cake had left that I'd forgotten to add their wings!! Horror!! So they're now Flower Pixies!!

I love, love, loved making this cake... from the tiny treasure chest complete with bounty to the treasure maps and pirates dressed in their stripes... lots of fun!! This was accompanied with an additional 12 cupcakes so that each party guest could take 'some pirate' home with them!
... wedding cookies for the gents... hopefully none of them were Ipswich supporters ;D hehehe x
Read more...Handpainted Birdcage cookies... the cage is painted in gold, but that doesn't really show too much on this photograph... they had a lovely shimmer when they caught the light... probably didn't help that I photographed these on a dismal, grey day :0(
The bride was over the moon with these, so that's great... wahay!
A lovely bride ordered Iced Cookies from me as wedding favours... she ordered these little beauties for the children, Norwich City Football Shirts for the gents and handpainted Bird Cage Cookies for the ladies...
Peppa Pig was made from a template I created so they did take quite a bit longer than using ready made cutters... each bit had to be individually cut... thinking about it, I could've actually made a range of Peppa, George, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, their car, their house, etc. and then they could've all been different... wouldn't have taken that much longer... I have the template if anybody wants it :D xxx
Ordered by Ormiston Victory Academy to celebrate their best GCSE results in years! And the cuppies are famous... appeared on Anglia News... for a split second, hehehe!
Read more...This wedding cupcake tower consists of 75 large cupcakes, 75 mini cupcakes and a giant cupcake on the top tier... a mixture of Madagascan Vanilla and Limoncello with buttercream swirls, embossed fondant tops and poured fondant.
Read more...I quickly photographed the Giant Cupcake and some of the Rose topped cuppies before I left for the venue... Hunters Hall, Swanton Morley, is notoriously dark with no natural light at all in the marquee... resulting in pretty awful photographs of the Cupcake Tower once set up :0( ... Ivory cakes photograph so much better in natural light... usually, I take them outside under the gazebo and photograph them there as the gazebo eliminates any dark, harsh shadows resulting in a great photo... as you'll see when I post the pic of the tower (in the marquee) the quality is very different!
Anyhoo... this is a Madagascan vanilla top cake, baked in the Wilton tin, then popped in a white chocolate mould and frosted with rose swirls. All handmade roses... love this colour scheme!
Ok... so this was the 2nd cake that I made for my little girl's birthday... she has a 'friends party' and a 'family party' so I have to make 2 cakes... more often than not along the Hello Kitty theme. I long for the day when it's something different, lol!
The bottom tier is an 8" Chocolate Mud cake, filled with Dairy Milk ganache. The top tier is a 6" Madagascan vanilla sponge, coloured pink, of course... filled with vanilla buttercream... both delicious!
I had to use a bit of dried spaghetti for the balloon string as I was lost for ideas... hugely worried it would snap... any other suggestions most gratefully received!
Oh well... I'm off to make 24 sugarpaste ponies! Sam x
The first Hello Kitty birthday cake of the weekend, ordered by my little girl for her 6th Birthday - this one was for her party with her school friends.
A 6" Madagascan vanilla sponge in 3 layers, sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream and a Dairy Milk ganache finish.
My first attempt at a bow and a candle... have wanted to do these for ages after seeing them pop up here on Flickr... not sure who started the trend... either Dot or Vanessa I think!
Anyway, Ella LOVED it... I put some sparklers in it too... fabulous ;D
These were ordered as part of an Anniversary set of cupcakes... a pale mint green, lilac and ivory with lace embossing and sparkly gerbera flowers.
Read more...Handmade fondant Buzz Lightyear sits on top of this 2 tier stacked caked : 9" Chocolate Mud Cake with Dairy Milk Ganache and 6" Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream & Raspberry Jam filling.
I've ventured away from cupcakes for a brief fling with a 2 tier stacked cake!! Buzz himself took longer than the entire cake, lol ;D
This was for my little boy's birthday so I it had to be his favourite character... so pleased with how it turned out... he was over the moon, his little face lit up when he saw it... yay, brownie points for Mummy :D
Delivered to the most gorgeous house EVER, recently renovated and fabulous. The lovely Lisa ordered these as a surprise for her Rangers loving husband's 40th Birthday!
